copper band , Peppermint, Pure KALK or PICKLING Lime, Raccoon Butterfly, long nose butterfly. but remember, Dont get the fish only for its job in cleaning out harmful things in our tank.. I would get a few peppermint shrimp first to see, then try a Copper band, Remember lots of Copperbands love clams too and LPS open brains and other slirpy LPS...

Well if you have a pic of the tank with the current FTS to see, go with the Peppermints that has always worked for me I would put in around 6-8 of them they will mate to help give you live food in the tank.
And they will still offer some cleaning jobs towards the fishies. and when more then 2-3 are in the tank they actually do come out more and investigate around the tank... and they are really cheap too, like 5-8 bucks aren't they

try taking a syringe, fill it with boiling hot water, and stick it right into the aiptasia and then just shoot the boiling water right into the thing. from what ive heard it works

If you are going to try to inject them,

Pull the piece of live rock out of the water. That way they will keep them selves filled with water instead of hiding in th rock. They will look like little ballons and are much easer to inject.
